An evidence-led Agent Skill that turns tool hype into one auditable adoption decision.

**Evidence before adoption.** Evaluate Agent Skills, MCP servers, APIs, CLIs, SaaS products, browser extensions, repositories, models, and datasets against a real workflow, primary evidence, risk gates, cost, and a bounded test.

The problem

AI tools are easy to discover and hard to trust.

Every week brings another impressive demo, Agent Skill, MCP server, model, or SaaS product. But a feature list rarely answers the questions that matter before adoption:

Does it solve a real workflow gap, or duplicate what the team already has?
Is the evidence primary and current, or repeated marketing?
What data, permissions, license terms, and ongoing costs come with it?
Can it be tested safely, and what would make us roll it back?
Should it become a main tool, a fallback, a reference, or something we reject?

Teams often discover these answers only after installation, authorization, integration work, or unexpected spend. APEX Tool Evaluator moves that reasoning before adoption and turns it into a decision another person can inspect and challenge.

This is an open-source decision protocol, not a finished list of opinions.
